Can you all remember when you got your first Audi? So stoked! I ended up with a pretty decent deal on an "08 A6 Quattro 3.2" (hope that is the correct way to spell it out). Please forgive all my newbie questions that may arise. I notice there are a few from this valley and some pretty close by. I look forward to joining what appears to be a great community. I have noticed that there isn't too much to mod on my particular model/year (hopefully I'm wrong), but I can assure you that I am already happy with it and look forward to putting some personal touches to it. Any help that you may lend in the future is greatly appreciated. Here are a few pic's of my new german beauty.

Pics didn't show up...use the picture icon and just cut and paste the pic location.
There is not much to do with the 3.2 in terms of engine performance mods but it already performs great and is very solid. Try to make it out to some of the cruises and just enjoy the car for a while before you decide if anything needs to be changed.
Welcome and have fun!

quattro has a small "q" - always!
Other than that your spelling was fine.
Simi. Well there's a few people up in that neck of the woods. I'm even there occasionally when I can be bothered to be on my best behavior!

Seems like you all have a pretty good thing going here. With the amount of response an "into" post gets around here, I can tell it's a pretty good group. I'll be on the lookout for all you guys.
I live in the middle of Simi, off Sycamore, and work in Hollywood, Culver, Santa Monica, Burbank mostly when I am not on location. I should be out and around. Looking forward to the next Meet and Greet in the new year.

Welcome to AZ.
I too have recently come into an A6 (C6) Avant, 3.2. There isn't much for engine mods as of now, but JHM is developing a tune and other possible options for this engine platform.
If you go to audirevolution.net and look in the A4 B7 section, there are a few pages discussing their ideas.
Otherwise, look into coilover suspension, front / rear sway bar upgrades, new wheel options, etc. Enjoy!
